If you check back through the post to which you responded, you will see I, very carefully, did not label the anti affirmative action movement as racist.
Ok, John, we will move on. But I am not going to let you get away with the above statement. Your first post on this subject listed the article and you said, "Follow the Money," The "Money" referred to in the article was " financial support from the Pioneer Fund, an organization that spent decades pushing the notion that whites are genetically superior to blacks."
The was a "Racist" charge by you, John.
When my response said, " It implies that anti-affirmative action movement is being run and financed by racists." your response was, " I posted it precisely because I knew you would pick up on that. Something to keep a big eye on. "
So you affirmed it.
When I posted back, "No answer, huh?", you responded with, " My own argument, forget Herbert, is that these anti-affirmative action cases are heavily funded and supported by folk who wish to turn the clock back, who are intensely uncomfortable in an increasing diverse society, the one we've generated since the 50s. Those views resonate with a wide array of social actors, white southern evangelicals chief among them."
I responded with "You have the bad habit of slandering things on the right that you don't like as either "Racist," and you came back with " If you check back through the post to which you responded, you will see I, very carefully, did not label the anti affirmative action movement as racist."
I feel there is no doubt that, from your first post, you were saying, directly or indirectly, that funding for anti-AA came from racists. The implication, all the way through, was "Guilt by Association." Which is "McCarthyism."
Now I will move on. |
